Day 4 - Tess Spindler

Today was one of the last days we had to work on Michelle’s house.  My group is working on the living room area, which mostly consists of painting, sanding and drywall.  This room is the biggest in the house so it has been a real struggle to complete it.  Bel’s kids came again today to help us work, which is always fun.  Michelle bough us pizza for lunch today and told us the story of how Hurricane Sandy impacted her and her family.  Not only did she share this story with us, but later at a dinner for all the volunteers and homeowners, she told us the story of her husband finding God.  This story was incredibly moving and inspiring to hear about how her life has changed from that experience.    It is very bittersweet that our time in New Jersey is almost up, but it has been an amazing journey and has brought so many fun memories with so many great people.
